You can control cookies through your browser.
In IE7, click on:
'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Privacy' > 'Advanced' > Override automatic cookie handling
Allow First-party cookies and block Third-party cookies. First-party cookies are set by the web site you are actually visiting and some won't work without cookies enabled. Third-party cookies are set by e.g. advertisers on that web site, these are the ones you particularly don't want.
You could set First-party cookies to 'prompt' but you'll probably find it annoying after a short while.
If you're using Firefox, click on:
Tools > Options > Privacy
Accept first-party cookies, don't accept third-party ones, keep until you close Firefox and select to clear private data when you close Firefox.
If you use SpywareBlaster it will ban cookies (and ActiveX) from known bad sites:

CCleaner is a useful free tool for clearing away the minor crap like cookies. Get the SLIM build (no added toolbar) here: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds/downloadin...
